Pros

You have a job and a salary. But even that didn't wasn't enough for the abuse you had to endure.

Cons

The manager at my publication was a psychopath who would disappear for hours and come back smelling of liquor. He also would harass his reporters publicly saying they were in-the-closet gay and routinely make completely inappropriate comments about people's love lives. He was threatened by underlings who didn't kiss his butt. There was a revolving door of reporters who were forced out or fired or left after having had enough. HR knew about the problem but did nothing. A few years ago the entire upper management team got fired, thankfully, but the new publisher. It took an outsider to realize the problems that had plagued the publication for more than a decade.

Pros

Ideas for change are encouraged. Good benefits. Detroit has a good atmosphere and in the heart of the Farmers Market area.

Cons

There have been alot of changes in management and outsourcing in many departments. So some employees are never sure where they stand.
